Browse Forums Kitchen Appliances 1 Jul 20, 2012 11:15 pm Hi, We are about to start a kitchen renovation and frustrated with the amount of appliances out there and the different opinions each one has but i beleive i have narrowed it down to two packages, none are Miele, way over budget for that. Package 1 (Westinghouse Kit) POR783S Electric Oven GHR17S Gas Cooktop WHR608IS Rangehood WSU6603XR Dishwasher Package 2 (Bosch Kit) HBG43S450A Electric Oven PBH615B90A Gas Cooktop DHI625NAU Rangehood SMU50E15AUSS Dishwasher Of course Package 2 is more expensive than Package 1 however i'd rather not spend the extra coin if it's of no real benefit. Any views on the above equipment welcome. Re: Kitchen Appliances 2Jul 24, 2012 10:26 pm First I would check out any reviews on the products that you have chosen to help make up your mind. Personally I would choose the Bosch having had Bosch brands before. While Westinghouse are not bad, I believe Bosch are that bit better. Given that you are choosing a package, have you tried to select the various cooktops, rangehoods etc that you like and search for the best price. Mix and match of various products does not hurt and sometimes a better deal can be had.

Re: Kitchen Appliances 4Jul 25, 2012 10:24 am I'd go with the Bosch, you'll find the small premium over the westinghouse is worth it. The reviews of their stuff is usually pretty good. I remember someone told me once that you go for Meile or similar if you've got the cash to burn, and Bosch if you want really good stuff for the money (if that makes any sense?). No. It's not original. Circa early to mid 90s would be my guess and maybe even as late as early 2000s 1 6632 2 4680 that will depend on the kitchen bench depth. you'll have to specify it so it allows for both the tap and the sink 1 7394 |
